But nothing glamorous like the picture of this girl with long legs with all these pretty Hermès boxes. Even if shopping clothing stores and above all shoe stores is one of my favorite hobbies, I'm mostly the kind of girl that you should not take in a furniture or decoration store or worse flea markets or used furniture stores because yes I must admit that I can not resist ... To find the perfect item for which you cannot think too much out of fear to miss it. But why this post you might say? Well, here's on the photo below the object of the crime: a stunning peacock chair in perfect condition at a very good price!

How could I resist?! The problem is that when you're taken in that moment of buying fever you do not really think to what is going to happen after ... These are blow of heart purchases, they're totally irrational and make you forget that you live in a very small apartment and that then you will have to find a place for this object as beautiful as bulky! Because when it comes to clothes and shoes, you always manage somehow to find a small place in your closet. I tell you all this because the same buying fever took me a few weeks ago with this beautiful bar cart that I showed you and which is still looking for a place ..

In short, while some peolple enjoyed the first sunny weekend in Paris to go out, I was painting my pretty chair. Here it is now in a corner of my living room waiting to find a place ... As well say I will have to make choices! Anyway, I do not regret this "compulsive buying" (which I think certainly means that I'm not ready to be cured!) because I love it!!! Now I only have to sew a cushion for the seat and it will be really perfect. What about you, are you also shopaholics ... ? Reassure me please and tell me that I'm not the only one ...

I’m a total compulsive buyer when it comes to decor and furniture items too. I also have a bar cart that I bought LAST SUMMER, that is still waiting for a home. I’ve been slowly gathering up styling items for it. I also have a dining table and four chairs, but alas, no dining room. I love the colour you painted the peacock chair. It’s gorgeous.

Of course you had to buy this!! It was too good!! If you hadn’t you would have regretted it! Plus you are most likely not going to live in that apartment forever right? So you were thinking of the future…and your future needs that chair :) I would have done the same thing :)

Thank you for your « support » Albertina, happy to know that I’m not the only one who couldn’t have resist seeing this beauty!
As you said I need this chair! And I’m sure it will be perfect in my future home (which I hope will be a big bigger!)!!!

You are brilliant for buying this chair! It’s one of those things that you will just kick yourself for not buying later down the road. It looks beautiful where it is, and that pink! Girl! It rocks. I do the same thing with stuff-fortunately I have a « holding zone » in my basement ;)
